A concert which we were looking forward to and it was indeed a good one with the team of SP Ananthapadmanabha on Violin, R. Sankaranarayanan on Mrudhangam and Hariharasharma on Kanjeera. Sathya started off with a ata thala Kaanada Varnam rendering 2 kalams in the apt speed followed it with the middle speed during the charanam. The team's understanding was fully on display during the first piece itself and it was indeed a great support fromt the audience with a good turn out. It was almost full and every one stayed back till the end which indeed speaks on the success of the concert. Shakshi a Telegu daily had carried a review in their issue dated 15th December, 2009 with the team's photo which can be viewed in the link http://reviewsonsathya.blogspot.com
Ananthapadmanabha was his usual best throughout and was very effective in following the krithis. Sankarnarayanan's ability to follow the songs and to excel himself to a greater level during the Thani avarthanam was very much evident. Hariharasharma was very effective and was apt in playing to the requirement & gave an excellent presentation during thani. Sathya tried out grahabedham while playing Natakurinchi, Mohanam and Sankarabaranam raagams during the Kalyani aalapana for the krithi Pankacha Lochana which drew the attention of one and all and the audience were delighted to give special appalausse for this. While all the 3 enhancing artists were very appreciative of the song selection, Sankaranarayanan in particular was very appreciative for the song selection with inclusive of variety of thalams and having Adi thalam only in the sixth piece. special mention had to be given to the excellent PA system provided by the Sabha authorities which makes a lot of difference in the performance levels.
